1. Dodo (one of Issachar's men, there was also one who was an Ahohite  ) Judges 10:1
And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
2. Mash, one of the sons of Aram Genesis 10:23
And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
3. Heman (for those children who are not the sharpest tools in the shed) 1 Kings 4:31
For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.
4. Mahershalalhashbaz (be quick before Hamites adopt this name) Isaiah 8:3
And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.
It was a pleasure to help you!
Yours in Christ,

Thank you very much, Elmer! These are some wonderful names!
George and I love Mahershalalhashbaz, but if we do give him that name, we will call him Maher for short. My weak female tongue cannot pronounce it very well because of
1 Timothy 2:11
